The Kitchen The kitchen is used for cooking and preparing food. Mostly the woman and daughters would be the ones in the kitchen. You would normally find pots, pans, a bread oven, cooking tools, and table or tables. They had a fire going and would swing a pot of stew or something over the fire and cook it.
I thought this picture suited our client's house because they weren't very rich so it isn't very fancy and is just kind of a simple style of one. The wood isn't the best so i figured it wood go along with the type of wood the house is made out of. The thing about back-country houses were the fact that they didn't have much money so they didn't have as nice of things.
Storage room The storage room was used to store all kinds of things. Things like meat, barrels with all sorts of things in them, etc. They may have had more but they at least had one storage room.
I chose this picture for our house because it isn't very fancy. Often many houses had storage rooms so i thought that the back-country houses would. Also the barrels and meat don't seem as nice and expensive as a fancy persons things would be.
Tobacco Barn Although back-country farmers weren't very rich, they still grew little tobacco. These barns were used for "sweating" the tobacco. Everybody who grew tobacco should have had a tobacco barn.
This picture goes with our house because I knew that some back-country houses had a tobacco plantation. Also it's not the most fancy tobacco barn.
Barn Normally many people had barns. Barns may have been used for holding animals and the animals feed. They possibly could have been used for storing utensils.
This barn fits our house because they probably had a few animals and they would need a place to put them. They normally stored animal's feed up in the top of the barn. This type of barn made it easy for the people to feed the animals, because there was an aisle and animals with there heads facing the aisle on both sides.
Hand Powered Spining Wheel People would spin their own thread with this hand powered spinning wheel. Rich people would have slaves/servants spin for them, but back-country people would normally do it themselves. These were very useful for making thread.
This picture is good for our house because they normally had spinning wheels in their house. They didn't have to be rich to have a spinning wheel.
Bed Beds were used for sleeping in. When you left your room you wouldn't go back until it was time for bed. In back-country houses there would either be a kids room and a parents room, or depending on how many rooms you had there may have been a girls room, a boys room, and a parents room.
This picture is perfect for our back-country house, because it's not some big fancy bed. Their beds were just simply a bed frame with ropes strung across and knotted holding a straw mattress. Rich peoples beds were so much more fancy.
Toilets
Toilets were used for going to the bathroom. They had at least one, but there were bathrooms that had two toilets side by side. The toilets were either in the house or in a separate shack.
This picture shows the toilets back then. They weren't the best but they were toilets, I'm sure big plantation farmers had better toilets, but for the back-country farmers this will do. This picture also is a great example of the two toilets side by side.
Water Mill Water mills were used for grinding grain. Back-country farmers probably payed someone to use their mill. Normally they wouldn't have owned one. It was so creative and unique how these mills worked.
This picture is cool, because it shows how the mill was ran by water and that it came down at an angle to move the wheel to grind the grain. This mill wouldn't have been owned by our person, but they would've paid the person who did own it to use it. After they grind their grain they would've sold it.
